Bitches love a batfam textpost I’ll tell you that much

[bellart]

Omg mooty I literally added that bc of a scene in a dick+steph fic I’m writing right now

I was gonna start this post saying people don’t talk abt Steph’s issues with her mother enough but actually people don’t even talk abt her issues with her father enough. I know that Arthur is evil to a cartoonish degree so it’s hard to fully comprehend that, but even just looking at it from a more realistic angle, that girl grew up fully understanding that her dad didn’t like her. She wasn’t good enough for her own father to do the bare minimum of caring about her. Crystal improved in time, but she didn’t do much to help with that during Steph’s most important developmental years. Steph grew up with the understanding that she’s not good enough and no one will help her when she struggles so don’t bother asking and don’t bother crying about it either. She saved herself both emotionally and physically by becoming Spoiler and continued to get up every time she fell because she had no other choice. She has the fundamental belief that there is no one in her corner no matter how much her relationship with crystal improves or how many allies she makes, that belief will always be there. That’s why she happily accepted the bare minimum from Tim and was constantly prepared/expecting for him to cheat on her. That’s why she doesnt seek out a father figure in Bruce, because she doesn’t know what it’s like to have that in her life so why would she expect it from him? That’s why she comes across as a sunshine character, because who would care otherwise? Honestly now that I’ve typed it out I think her independence gets undermined the most.

I feel like Dick has really only wanted attention from Bruce and even that’s a bit too black and white with whatever is going between the two of them.

To my last anon bc im not posting what they said:

Let’s use nice words with each other! I know we’re having big emotions, but can you tell me what you’re feeling with nice words? (Helping to identify emotions is rlly important when gentle parenting)

[bellart]

Gonna start gentle parenting my anon hate. Let’s work through this together

Do you guys ever think about how this girl is a mother with a two year old daughter

[bellart]

“I know that you're in a whole lotta trouble because of what we did to Blockbuster. They're not gonna understand, and right now you're not even sure you're gonna tell them, and you're trying to get used to the idea of being alone in the world with that kind of secret and that kind of guilt. You can't. I also know you're a cheap date.”

I’m sorry I don’t shut the fuck up about nightwing 95 do you still think I’m hot

Jason gets multiple major storylines with the guy who murdered him AND the guy who murdered Steph while she gets basically no acknowledgment of any of her trauma and I feel so fine and normal abt that
